According to de Vaan, the similarity of shape and meaning between this root and *éti makes it difficult to assign undoubtedly most descendants to either one or the other. But Dunkel points out that *éti has a local “from there” and intensifying “exceedingly” meaning, while *át is contrastive “but” and affirming “indeed > furthermore”.
Furthermore, Hittite(/addu/, “but, furthermore”) suggests that *át is the correct form, as *h₂ would have been preserved in Hittite.
